Overall Assessment
This is a natural, un-faceted rough diamond crystal displaying characteristic natural etch channels and fractures, suitable primarily for mineral collections or specialized custom organic jewelry designs rather than traditional high-end gemstone use.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Uncut rough specimen)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceted geometry and heavy inclusions
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible in current rough state
Scintillation
Limited flash due to irregular raw surface facets
Proportions
Natural rough morphology, unoptimized
Symmetry
Natural irregular crystal symmetry
Polish
Raw natural crystal surfaces and fractures
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment alone
Inclusions
Heavy internal feathering, cloudiness, and mineral spots
Blemishes
Natural surface etchings, trigons, and rough fracture lines
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlite rough deposit (African or South American sources typical)
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of human treatment; entirely natural rough state
Estimated Value
$200 - $600 USD depending on industrial versus specimen value
Certification Estimate
GIA (Geological Institute of America) - Rough report or preliminary grading
Investment Potential
Low as a polished gem, moderate as a raw mineral collectible specimen
Similar Diamonds
Uncut industrial or low-clarity gem-grade rough diamond crystals
Setting Suggestions
Raw mineral specimen display mount or organic-style wire wrap setting
Care & Maintenance
Store in a soft pouch away from harder gemstones to prevent further fracturing
Interesting Facts
